LCV Action Fund Endorses Patty Murray for Re-Election to the U.S. Senate

Washington, DC - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV)
Action Fund, which works to elect candidates who will implement sound
environmental policies, today announced its endorsement of Patty Murray for
re-election to the U.S. Senate. Sen. Murray has an impressive 89% LCV lifetime
environmental score and received a perfect 100% on LCV’s 2009 National
Environmental Scorecard.*

“Senator Murray has long advocated for policies that will
bring new clean energy jobs to Washington and reduce our dangerous dependence
on oil,” said LCV Action Fund President Gene Karpinski. “We are proud to
endorse Senator Murray for re-election because she is working to ensure that
America – and more importantly Washington – leads in the creation of the 21st
century’s clean energy economy.”

Sen. Murray has shown a strong commitment to preserving
our environment and transitioning to a clean energy economy. As a member of
both the Senate Budget and Appropriation Committees, Sen. Murray has secured
funding for important clean energy research and development programs. Sen.
Murray also helped pass into law legislation that increased fuel economy
standards for cars for the first time in 30 years. **
